Anand Verma visited Kovalam in December 2014 and was mesmerised.

"Kovalam is a beautiful beach to relax, sun bathe or ride a scooter. The beach is not filthy and crowded like Juhu beach in Mumbai."

"I found the water to be very clean as compared to Juhu beach," Anand adds.

"I visited Talsari beach in Odisha in 2008 with my family and found it to be very clean," says Debashis Sarkar. "It's on the West Bengal-Odisha border, and it is a half hour journey from Digha."

"Tal means 'palm' and 'sari' means 'row.' It's known for its red crabs. It's calm, quiet and serene. We loved it! It is certainly one of the cleanest beaches I have been too," Debashis adds.
